Information on tickets for 2013-14 Blue Jackets preseason games

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Single game tickets for the Blue Jackets four pre-season home games will go on sale Friday, August 23 at 10 a.m.

The Blue Jackets will play eight total exhibition games - four at Nationwide Arena - beginning with a Sept. 15 game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on home ice. The club will take part in a split-squad game on Sept. 17, with half of the team traveling to Minnesota to play the Wild and the other half facing off against the Buffalo Sabres in Columbus.

Speaking of that Pittsburgh game on Sept. 15...this is the first time we've hosted the Penguins in quite a while. We'll be seeing a lot of them this year thanks to conference realignment, and this is a great opportunity to start off on the right note. We hope to see YOU here to #DefendNWA against Sidney Crosby, James Neal, Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the Penguins!
